SP 1TB SSD 3D NAND A55 SLC Cache Performance Boost SATA III 2.5 7mm (0.28) Internal Solid State Drive (SP001TBSS3A55S25)

super

So my 2TB HDD was faithful, but short lived. About 3 years. It died. Thankfully I had it backed up and bought this SSD. I transferred the data to this SSD and connected back to my computer and all is now fine in my little SSD drive. Great price and it really has 2TB of storage (except for the address being reserved)

Excelent SSD 2T and a convenient price. Thank you

An SSD at this capacity is a steal (2 TB model). I dont have the knowledge and diagnostics to see how this compares to the more popular and expensive SSDs on the market, but as someone that is moving from a regular HDD for gaming I can say that the speed difference is night and day. The only question is durability. Ive been using it heavily for about a month now. I have no complaints so far but Ill come back and update this review if anything happens.

Its an SSD. Not a particularly fast one because of its sata interface, but I needed it for modding an Xbox 360. Does speed really matter? Probably not, and the things been working fine, so 5 stars it is. One thing though, if youre modding a phat xbox 360, then youll need some sort of space to make it work in the hard drive enclosure.

This NVMe drive was totally plug and play. Installed with zero issues. No problems and super fast...no stuttering with my games. Lots and lots of room. I used it to replace three smaller SSDs in my rig. Excellent deal. Would buy again.

I have three of these disks (1 TB) installed in a ZFS pool (no mirroring, no raidz). I needed cheap SSDs for my workloads, which are heavily write intensive, but require sporadic, small sized, random reads, a few times every second. Well, NAND flash can be great for that. Or at-least thats what youd expect. Sidenote: if you know anything about 7200rpm spinning drives, you know they can sustain a reasonable ~150-200MB/s sequential write, but throughput will suffer quite a bit if they need to simultaneously seek to fetch non-contiguous data. And then theres the issue of limited IOPS. I wasnt expecting miracles from these SSDs, but I was certainly expecting each to sustain atleast ~200 MB/s sequential writes. Well lo and behold, once you blow through the onboard SLC cache after a measly 30 seconds of writes at ~500MB/s, the drives start choking. Nothing more than ~65MB/s after that. I know these are TLC drives with SLC cache, but woof, those numbers arent great. So, if your workload isnt write heavy, by all means get this thing. But Id think youd want a little more performance out of something only fractionally cheaper than better performing alternatives. Also, no benchmarks posted on here use a large enough test file size to actually blow through the SLC cache, so the only thing you see results for is your SATA connection and/or packet congestion in the PCIe lane. On the positive side, sustained read performance was as expected, saturated the SATA III link without any issues.

Exceptional price - no problems with install - works great. I recommend this product.

I installed this SSD into my twelve year old pre-built Gateway PC with an HDD. The difference in performance was night and day. It went from boot times over one minute to around 15 seconds. Inspired by the increased capabilities I also upgraded my GPU and CPU and created a somewhat passable gaming PC for older games. If you’re worried about reliability don’t be. I’ve had no issues so far and performance has been consistent. I’ve installed quite a few games and my OS on this drive. Compatibility and installation were no problem either. The drive was recognized right away and I was able to transfer all the contents of my old drive with ease. If you’re looking for a low cost and quality SSD I recommend giving this one a try.

The drive itself seems pretty good especially for the price. My only complaint thus far is there are no mounting screws provided. How much would it cost them to include 4 mounting screws. 85 cents?
